Executive Overview — What We’re Dealing With

This specimen has persisted long enough to matter. Human experts classified it as Malware, and the telemetry confirms a capable, evasive Trojan with real impact potential.

Extended Dwell Time Impact

For 57+ minutes, this malware was rapidly detected — demonstrating excellent security controls that intercepted the threat during initial execution phases, severely limiting adversary capabilities.

Global Detection Posture — Who Caught It, Who Missed It

VirusTotal engines: 71. Detected as malicious: 32. Missed: 39. Coverage: 45.1%.

Why it matters: if any endpoint relies solely on a missed engine, this malware can operate with zero alerts. Prevention‑first controls close that gap regardless of signature lag.

Behavioral Storyline — How the Malware Operates

Intensive file system activity (69.80% of behavior) indicates data harvesting, file encryption, or dropper behavior. The threat is actively searching for and manipulating files across the system.

MITRE ATT&CK Mapping

• T1083 – enumerate files on Windows

• T1129 – link many functions at runtime
• T1057 – enumerate process modules
• T1129 – parse PE header
• T1129 – link function at runtime on Windows
• T1083 – enumerate files recursively

• T1071 – Reads data out of its own binary image
• T1071 – Attempts to connect to a dead IP:Port
• T1071 – The PE file contains an overlay
• T1202 – Uses Windows utilities for basic functionality
• T1112 – Installs itself for autorun at Windows startup
• T1027 – The binary contains an unknown PE section name indicative of packing
• T1027.002 – The binary contains an unknown PE section name indicative of packing

• T1485 – Anomalous file deletion behavior detected (10+)
• T1070.006 – Binary contains a suspicious time stamp
• T1083 – Reads ini files
• T1082 – Queries the volume information (name, serial number etc) of a device
• T1573 – Uses HTTPS
• T1071 – Uses HTTPS

Following the Trail — Network & DNS Activity

Outbound activity leans on reputable infrastructure (e.g., CDNs, cloud endpoints) to blend in. TLS sessions and
HTTP calls show routine beaconing and IP‑lookup behavior that can masquerade as normal browsing.

Hunting tip: alert on unknown binaries initiating TLS to IP‑lookup services or unusual CDN endpoints — especially early in execution.
